    I was left in charge of the invites (ok I can handle this). Was going to print them this week but couldn't and now the co-MOH is all up in arms because her name isn't on the invite....I decided to leave out the hostess line because too many people are involved to list. She thinks its just the BMs when the MOG paid for renting the location. Co-MOH says it doesn't matter and I think its just plain rude to not have her listed. Co-MOH is in a tizzy because she wants her name on her sister's shower invite but there just isn't room or a non-rude way to go about this....Also, I put my name as the contact for the rsvp because I work 9-5 and co-MOH works in the evening. I figured most people would be able to get ahold of me easier and that we should only have 1 list since there are 70 people invited. 

    Any ideas for me?? I'm not sure what to do.

    can you do an invitation that reads like a card? left side of card just have the important people responsible for the partys names and titles right side all the details of the shower--time rsvp, date location registry information. front side of card a pretty picture or design to go with theme of bridal shower...

    I would add her name to the RSVP and set up a google document where you both can keep track of the RSVPs. 

    Also, on he back of the invite a little list of the "special thanks" people. Not part of the invite officially, but its there.

    @asianyoushi:  Unfortunately, no. The paper is already bought. (unless I just save it for my own future wedding or my FSIL's). It's those sets where everything is printed on a piece of paper and then tied to a colored piece.

    My mom had said to just throw in the towel and give all the stuff to them and call it caputs. They don't live anywhere near me and I do not have the patience for this constant run around.

    I feel like an idiot because I should've just told her that I printed them last night and been done with it!

    @lefeymw:  Sounds great....except she does not have internet....I think its more that she doesn't want to relinquish control. Admittedly, nor do I since I've already put a lot of time and energy in it.

    I've known this girl since I was a little kid. She's stubborn, immature for her age and a bit of a b*tch. The bride insisted we all work together for this (why idk....) and I begged her to just be ok with one of us planning the shower and one planning the bachelorette. I've been in plenty of orgs on campus to forsee this happening ..

    @ohmybuhjeezes:  Then how about just printing as special thanks to those involved in the planning on the back of the invite? Or printing it on some velum and slipping it in the envelope.

    @lefeymw:  That could work!!

     @asianyoushi:  Daquiris would definitely make this better hahaha

    You ladies think alphabetical order would be best??

    I was thinking by last name. My mom just now suggested I take myself off the RSVP, put her on and omit the hostess line. Then everyone's happy and I don't have to buy extra paper or manage the list.
